All batman-adv packets have a common 3 byte header. It can be used to share
some code between different code paths, but it was never explicit stated that
this header has to be always the same for all packets. Therefore, new code
changes always have the problem that they may accidently introduce regressions
by moving some elements around.
A new structure is introduced that contains the common header and makes it
easier visible that these 3 bytes have to be the same for all on-wire packets.

- sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use
choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same
argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express
the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected

With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.
A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.
This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.
The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.
It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
- big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
connected clients)
- high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
OGM losses
The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.
To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.
When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

parameters. For example gcc would create a warning like
"warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast".

smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() are very useful
functions that help to handle comparisons between sequence numbers.
However they were only defined in vis.c. With this patch every
batman-adv function will be able to use them.

Usually rcu_dereference isn't necessary in situations were the
RCU-protected data structure cannot change, but sparse and lockdep still
need a similar functionality for analysis. rcu_dereference_protected
implements the reduced version which should be used to support the
dynamic and static analysis.

Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.

Casting from pointer like 'struct orig_node*' to 'struct orig_node *'
doesn't provide any additional functionality and can be savely removed.

It is not necessary to cast a void* to the pointer type when we just
store it and don't want to do pointer arithmetic before the actual
assignment.

It is not save to provide memory for an int and then cast the pointer to
it to long*. It is better to standardize the up and down gateway
bandwith representation to simple ints and only use long inside
conversation routines.

batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not
violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a
cast to the non-const version.

The size of void is currently set by gcc to 1, but is not well defined
in general. Therefore it is more advisable to cast it to char* before
doing pointer arithmetic.
